The First Cut is the Deepest (Rod Stewart / Cheryl Crow)—Complete Guitar Lesson

A really simple song for guitarists—a small handful of chords with some nice options for a smooth descending bass line too. In this tutorial I'll show you all the shapes you'll need, with strumming, picking, and all the twiddly bits you'll need to create an authentic performance. We finish up with a play-through, followed by my backing track on its own so you can play it your way! By the way: ♫ 📢 These guitar song videos contain copyrighted material—the licence holders give me permission to perform the song, but I don't earn any advertising revenue from views. So, if you've enjoyed the video and want to support my work here, please consider a Super Thanks (like a tip jar, under the video) and that sends a couple of bucks my way so I can keep his project going. Many thanks, you wonderful viewers! ☺️
